yes! I did use a reference! Goodness there's no way I could do one without it at this stage lol
You're probably right that the building is french too! I could only decipher it to be some European structure ;-;
and woh you're french?! french people always seem so classy, i like
some nose studies! 
Great studies!
Added eyes to some nose studies 
I drew the eyes too big for the initial 2 or 3 nose-and-eyes pairs, but oh well, it's in pen so I can't really correct it... ;-;
Also tried to draw a portrait in charcoal pencil, after learning all the parts of the face for term 2!
I think all that's left for me in term 2 is to practice drawing some faces some more and finishing my 3 pt perspective; I'm getting excited about progressing some more!
I love how you handle these features, they look fantastic in charcoal! Keep it up!
A 3 point perspective study! I referenced the Neuschwanstein castle from Germany, but experimented with colors, composition, and tried add a dash of storytelling in this piece. I'm not entirely satisfied with my result, but I already spent too many hours on this ;-; (12 hrs) my brain feels like an old potato x - x
I'm planning to do more (definitely shorter) perspective studies for the rest of this and next week!
These look amazing! How long have you been doing art for?
Thank you!
I've had some basic traditional art training from about 5th to 10th grade. We sketched a lot from reference, using pencil, charcoal, and watercolor. I sketched and painted here and there for a few years afterwards. If strictly speaking about digital art, I only started doing it seriously since December 2021, I think? I'm guessing that the training I had helped the transition to be easier
Very impressive, The perspective looks correct overall and I really like the colors. The only thing I am able to critique is that the carriage, horse and character are not quite in perspective. Their vertical lines would follow the same vanishing point as the castle, but they instead are perfectly aligned with the picture frame.
On a second read, the trees on the right are quite similar in value and color of the background, making them hard to read.
Whoah! This is amazing! Fantastic work! I love how you use these color notes everywhere.
Wow, I never would have noticed the perspective mistake if you didn't point it out, thanks so much! I hope to work more on value in the future, definitely an important aspect to improve upon!
haha thank you I still have a long way to go though!
Wanted to share a head study I did:
Two studies on value! I'm planning to do about a dozen more of these (and through this also practice perspective when I get to houses and such), got motivated from listening to a professional artist's talk on youtube (ง •_•)ง And shoutout to Xybb for pointing out my value-weakness in a last post, thank you! (if you see this)
What I learned is to stick to the basic formula of dark, medium light--the dark values being concentrated in the closest area of land to the viewer. I might have struggled with that a bit, since the two photos I referenced from seem to have a lot of local values covering the floor, for instance.
it might be a bit too much to post 12 more of these here... oh heavens i don't know
Value study #3
aw man I'm already exhausted on my 4th one >_<
Oh my, are you sure you are a student? Such amazing pieces you have here! Congrats and keep up the amazing job!
thanks dangras 😊
Yes I agree with Dangras, I don't believe you are a student! Fantastic work I don't know what else to say. These are amazing.
